There's a missing check in the program for Hillary's death in this case. You can finish the race to the end, but when you pass through the red marker by the Malibu, the screen goes black and locks up. But you can shoot Hillary in his car, and the mission correctly fails with "Hillary is dead!"

Since Hillary's car is nominally indestructable, the thought of checking for its destruction was never built into the mission by the game designers. So Hillary can be killed by a tank, you finish the mission... but at the mission's end, the game has to resolve the program loop and something's wrong: Hillary's dead. I wonder why it won't return to the main loop though.
